Pomeranz VS. the AL East

One of the reasons that rendered Pomeranz so attractive is his career numbers against AL East opponents, as indicated in the chart below. For the purposes of increasing the sample size and adding statistical significance to the results, I have included his career numbers against all five teams in the AL East, including the Red Sox.

Pomeranz has pitched one game against an AL East opponent this season, the New York Yankees. On July 2, Pomeranz performed brilliantly against the Bronx Bombers tossing seven innings, allowing a single earned run on five hits, walking none, while striking out seven.
